    WTF Lex!?: Racism, One Lexington & Accountability

    This week, Ole Gerg returns after a short break with a no-holds-barred discussion about one of Lexington's most controversial topics. After being accused online of previously attacking One Lexington and its former leadership years before becoming involved in local media, Greg lays out why he believes those claims are demonstrably false and challenges anyone to produce evidence. The conversation expands into larger issues surrounding race, government-funded organizations, public accountability, transparency, and how political and social divisions affect Lexington. Greg also shares personal experiences that shaped his views on policing, poverty, and race, including encounters with the Lexington Police Department dating back more than two decades. Finally, the episode examines questions surrounding public grant funding, open records requests, and why government-funded organizations should expect public scrutiny. In This Episode Returning after a brief hiatusResponding to accusations regarding One LexingtonWhy accountability should apply to every government-funded organizationOpen records requests and the search for transparencyQuestions surrounding community grant fundingPersonal experiences with Lexington PoliceThoughts on racism, division, and public discourseUpcoming coverage of the Fayette County Public Schools leadership controversyRecent Lexington crashes and other local newsMentioned One LexingtonLFUCG Open RecordsLexington Police DepartmentFayette County Public SchoolsDemetrus LigginsNo Cap Grant ProgramListener Challenge Greg publicly challenges anyone to provide verifiable evidence supporting claims that he publicly attacked One Lexington or its leadership during 2021–2022.

    Trust Us, We Investigated Ourselves

    When a citizen files a complaint against a police officer, who investigates the complaint—and who investigates the investigator? In this episode of WTF LEX!?, we take a closer look at Lexington Police Sergeant Weslee Farley, the supervisor who recently determined a complaint against Officer Barrett was "unfounded." Using public records, court documents, news reports, and a Kentucky Attorney General Open Records ruling, we examine Sgt. Farley's public career, his role in a 2014 officer-involved shooting, his involvement in a significant open records dispute, and his current position within the Lexington Police Department. We also discuss the complaint process itself, the department's findings, and why transparency matters when police departments investigate their own officers. This episode isn't about personal attacks—it's about public records, public accountability, and asking questions that deserve answers.
